Thermacell Tick Control Tubes are made from biodegradable cardboard filled with a specially treated material that kills ticks. Mice seek out this ideal nest material and collect it to line their nests deep underground.

Young ticks feeding on the mice encounter the material on the mice’s fur and die without harming you, your family, or the environment. The mice are aren’t harmed and actually benefit from the removal of the parasite.

In a field test by Harvard University researchers over the course of two years, Tick Control Tubes virtually eliminated ticks on mice and vegetation in the treated area helping protect people against Lyme disease.
